Dr. Cheon And The Lost Talisman
South Korea Focus
A fake shaman makes a fortune exorcising non-existent demons… until he encounters the real thing
Dr Cheun is the heir to a shamanic family legacy and makes a fortune carrying out fake online exorcisms, yet he doesn’t actually believe in the existence of ghosts. Instead, he uses common sense, insight and a splash of snake oil to rid his clients of their problems. But he gets more than he bargained for when his latest case reveals a series of inexplicable events that has him questioning his long-held beliefs.
Combining fantasy and reality, shamans and social media stars, supernatural thrills and hilarious hijinks, Kim Seong-sik, who has worked as an assistant director on Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite and Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave, crafts an exhilaratingly entertaining debut.
